why do you have to be bent on excellence settle for the mundane? will you? i doubt it but why force excellence when it causes unhappiness would being normal be unacceptable? would being normal label you as the outcast in society? would it label you as an outcast in your family? it seems that all too many families are trying to force their children into their footsteps of "excellence" is it really the right thing to do? i understand that they want the best but is it what the child wants for their future? maybe their future doesnt include going to harvard law school, becoming a sucessful lawyer, finding a spouse, and living out their lives in a mansion. maybe it involves living in a three bedroom apartment in upscale new york waiting to watch the next broadway show that comes out.
until someone explains the ever conundrum known as why i still seek something substantial to fill my void.
